EXPOSED?

PEP is a one-month course of drugs that can prevent HIV infection if started within 72 hours of exposure.

If you require PEP, please call the PEP Infoline on 1800 889 887.

PRONTO! does not distribute PEP medication.

How does PEP work?

It takes a few days for HIV to establish itself in the body after exposure. If PEP is given at this time, it can help the body’s immune system stop the infected cells from multiplying. The infected cells then die in a short time frame.
